Mahesh Bhatt's directorial debut film was about two fugitives and their relationship with a prostitute. It was made in '72, but was banned by the Censor Board of India for "mocking the sacred institution of marriage" and was released after 14 months. Noted singer Bhupinder composed the music for the film as Bhupinder Soni. Film featured Kabir Bedi, Prema Narayan and Gulshan Arora in lead roles.
